Nonprofit calls on Ohio State to return grant, alleges animal abuse

Stop Animal Exploitation Now (SAEN), an Ohio-based animal rights
nonprofit, is calling on Ohio State University (OSU) to refund $1.76 million
in research funding to the National Institutes of Health over reports of
alleged animal abuse involving mice during research, the Columbus Dispatch
reports.
In a letter addressed to OSU president Kristina M. Johnson, SAEN calls on
the university to fire the research project’s principal investigator and to
retract the scientific journal article associated with that project
published on the National Library of Medicine’s website. SAEN cites an
internal OSU report from December 2022 for its allegations, and claims the
mice used in a cancer immunotherapy trial were not treated humanely. The
allegations include failure to euthanize animals that were suffering from
ulcerated tumors, failure to provide pain relief, and the use of expired
drugs on animals as part of the project.
“Ohio State University allowed this principal investigator to continue to
violate federal regulations for multiple years, not only causing severe
suffering to the animals used in the project, but totally invalidating the
experiment,” said SAEN co-founder Michael A. Budkie in a press release.
